2014 American Garden Award Winners Announced!

After a summer of active voting, it's time to announce the 2014 American Garden Award Winners! The 2014 American Garden Award, now in its sixth year, featured four new flower varieties chosen by their breeders for their excellent garden performance. Once these new varieties were planted and put on display at the thirty-two participating gardens across the U.S. and Canada, the public was invited to vote for their favorite using one of several voting methods. The votes have been tallied and the three winners are:

With a mother from the Spanish Canary Islands, this incredible new foxglove hybrid produces a stunning summer-long display. Incredible Red-Pink flowers with flaming orange throats are produced in classic foxglove style from May to October. Great in pots or borders, it is long-lasting as a cut flower too.

Second Place Winner

Petunia Sanguna® Radiant Blue

This stunning new hybrid petunia packs a punch! With a bicolor flower pattern, Sanguna® Radiant Blue gracefully adds beauty to any container. While creating standout pots for porches & decks, it also performs well in garden beds. The possibilities of this flower will provide many options to decorate garden spaces.

Third Place Winner

Celosia Arrabona Red

Masses of striking red plumes that will last all summer long! Easy care, drought tolerant and loves the heat, Arrabona's fiery beauty looks gorgeous in both borders and containers.

Look for these exciting winners as seeds or plants at your favorite online or local retailer.
A HUGE end-of-season "Thank you" to the 2014 participating gardens.
